Howdy Tantalkers! Need some advice if anyone has an opinion. Currently, we have only 1 bed (we run another business with tanning...very little town...have to have multiple sources of income). It's a Sunstar ZX32 3F...my customers love it. We're thinking of adding another bed. Already have the room ready, etc. We're starting to get our afternoons booked with high school students tannig for prom. Question is whether we should go with a stand-up, a comparable bed (there's a Sunvision ZX30 in town for sale for $2400...only used 1 year, but will need new bulbs), a bigger bed (like a 42 laydown), or a smaller (like a 28 or 30 with no facials). Have had a few people ask about stand-ups, and the session time is shorter. But, I've read on here that the bulbs are more expensive. Not sure if customers will pay big bucks for a top of the line bed or a stand-up. Any thoughts? As far as competition, there are only a few other places in town to tan. I get a lot of clients from one of the salons because they fail to maintain their beds. Also, a second question. Got a quote on a new Oasis stand-up from ESB. Read another post online that says ESB beds aren't very high quality. Any opinions on that as well? Okay, enough of my rambling. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! |
